↑Despite being in the fairly conservative state of Texas, Austin's liberalism is due to a toxic mix of professor values (the city is the home of the liberal University of Texas at Austin), hippie culture (Austin is known for its secular music scene, calling itself "The Live Music Capital of Texas" and "Keep Austin Weird"), relocations of high-tech companies from California (who bring their failed leftist policies with them), and being the state capital (seats of government traditionally are liberal due to leftists desire to expand government at all costs).
